Chapter 35: Halloween

In such a bad situation, November 1 quietly came, Halloween Chinese meaning, in China we are called Ghost Festival, and Western countries are called back to the soul night, the traditional festival of Western countries, the logo decoration is some, lit candles and some carved face-sculpting pumpkins, Hogwarts is of course no exception, Hogwarts is decorated with pumpkins and clowns everywhere, bats flying everywhere, Hagrid's huge pumpkin is carved into a lantern, the huge pumpkin can accommodate three people to sit inside, Dumbledore also went out of his way to book a skeleton dance troupe to cheer everyone up! At the same time, this is another magical time period, every time at this time, there will be some strange things happening in Hogwarts, such as the troll invasion last year, which made Carchel famous for fighting trolls alone, and this year, obviously it will not be calm, when Kachel entered the restaurant, Halloween dinner has begun, thousands of pumpkins in the sky are floating in the air, and the grimace emits this yellow candlelight, instead of the white candles that are erected on the plate on weekdays, piles of roast turkeys are placed on golden plates and served on long tables, For students to eat.

When Carchel learned that the Harry trio was not going to attend the banquet, but was going to attend the death party of Nick, who was almost headless, he almost didn't squirt out the juice he had just drunk, not to mention what the concept of the living attending the dinner party of the dead was, others didn't know what it was like but Carchel knew what that dinner was like, and when he saw Carchel sitting down in Slytherin's seat, Draco leaned his head over; "It's going to be Quidditch soon, the first game is Gryffindor, we can win, right? It felt good to win the Quidditch trophy last year, but the House Cup didn't, and the scarhead and those mudbloods were to blame! ”

"Of course, we'll try our best to win" Carchel still kept a hand, knowing that anything can happen to Harry, especially against Harry, and knowing that even if his arm was broken by a Bludger, Harry still got the Golden Snitch in the original book, "Of course we can win!" Flint leaned in, pumpkin juice in hand, "We've got the best Seeker who won the Quidditch Cup for us last year!" Flint said, pointing to Kachel; Even if he puts it in a regular team, Kachel will not be worse than those guys! "Of course, I'm going to do my best, and I think we're going to have the best chance of winning." Carchel smiled and plucked the cut turkey to Pansy next to him, Pansy smiled sweetly, the dinner was finally over, Carchel and Pansy stood up, ready to follow the prefects back to the Slytherin basement, at this time the people who were following the flow of people, the sound that was still actively squeezing just now disappeared all of a sudden, Carchel put his arm around Pansy's waist and walked to the front row, seeing that the prefects were frowning, Pansy asked suspiciously, "What happened?" Because Pansy was recognized by the Slytherin Snakes as a Carcell's woman, and Carchel was respectfully addressed to her by the Snakes, all, even the prefects had to be respectful to her, "See for yourself," the prefect pointed ahead, Pansy looked up, Lady Lorris's tail was hanging from the torch stand, her body was stiff, apparently petrified, her eyes wide, staring straight at Harry, Ron and Hermione, the three of them standing alone in the middle of the hallway.

Draco's loud voice came from behind, and anyone could hear his schadenfreude; "Be hostile to the heirs, be vigilant! Next up is Potter. Draco walked over to Carchel and smiled sarcastically at Harry, who looked at the wall a foot above the ground, scribbling on it, "The Chamber of Secrets has been opened, and the heir is the enemy, be on the lookout!" This line caused goosebumps to all the students present, and Carchel glanced meaningfully at Ginny Weasley, who was standing in the crowd, and saw that her face was full of panic, and Carchel thought that Voldemort's Horcrux had worked.

Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall quickly arrived on the scene, along with the other professors, including Gilderoy Lockhart, the professor of Defence Against the Dark Arts 2B, who even at this point did not forget to show his shining teeth to the students, "My cat! My cat, oh my lovely Lady Loris! Filch was already crazy, he danced wildly, jumped over and grabbed Harry's robe collar, "You! You were the one who killed my Lady Loris! You kill it! I'm going to kill you! I'm going to "when Filch has something else to say," all right, Fivinch. Dumbledore walked over to the torch rack and removed Lady Loris from it, the dark blue behind his half-moon eyes shining with an inexplicable sheen, and even Kachel, who knew the plot well, couldn't see what was going on in his head.

"It's not dead," Dumbledore said after examining Lady Loris, "No, no! Dumbledore. A choked pause could be heard in Filch's voice, "Why does it look like it's frozen?" "That's when it's petrified, Filch," Dumbledore straightened up, "don't get excited, there's still a chance of recovery." "That must be a shape-shifting torture spell!" Gilderoy Lockhart chimed in from the side, "It must have been the Transfiguration Torture Charm that made it look like this, I've seen it countless times when I was fighting vampires!" Lockhart was again expressing his eloquence, bluffing the people next to him for a moment.

Not only the teacher, but almost all the onlookers showed a skeptical look, after all, this is a bit overblown, except for those small number of girls formed by the Lockhart Legion to believe that thing, after all, this Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher is completely like a Muggle in other aspects except for the cultivation and maintenance of the star image, even if he is a Defence Against the Dark Arts professor.

"There's absolutely nothing wrong with that!" He had already subconsciously decided, "This cat must know something." That's why this spell was cast! That person must want to know something from it" Carchel almost knelt down when he heard what he said, listening to his flawed words, Carchel was really speechless, who would have any top-secret information from a cat? "Gildero, I don't think this cat would know anything top secret, and I don't think any wizard would try to get the news out of a cat's mouth" Professor McGonagall said with a straight face, and Dumbledore came out, "I think Gilderoy is right in saying that Lady Loris must have seen something we don't know about, so it would be petrified, otherwise, it would be difficult for me to understand that someone would do something to a cat." Gilderoy Lockhart, who stood aside, smiled smugly, for, the great white wizard of the century, said he was right.
